 Late-night munchies |
Leopoldstraße 19 Schwabing Munich, Bayern 80802 Germany |
Adria is a traditional meeting spot for those who get the munchies late. Orders are taken from 10:30a-3a. You can go for classics like pizza (from EUR 4.50) and pasta ( EUR 5.35) or try one of the numerous fish or meat dishes. The helpings are very big and the prices reasonable. Adria also does good business with its take-away service. For (1.75) you can get a lasagne, a slice of pizza or a vegetable bake to take away. Drinks cost (EUR 1). Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cigars aplenty |
Leopoldstraße 25 Schwabing Munich, Bayern 80802 Germany +49 89 3308 9292 |
A bar-cum-restaurant with a bouncer and self-assured clientele, which sells good if slightly overpriced Caribbean food. The atmosphere is very casual and the clientele is mainly made up of 'successful' business people who come here to eat and smoke a cigar (from the in-house humidor) while discussing the latest share prices. The Aficionado has large rooms, a separate bar and a pleasant terrace on the Ludwigstraße in summer. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exclusive Italian food |
Frans-Hals-Straße 3 Munich, Bayern 81479 Germany +49 89 79 9885 http://www.al-pino.de/ |
This restaurant offers high-class Italian cuisine in quiet and sunny surroundings. Although located in up-market Solln, it is not just a haven for the wealthy. You will look in vain for pizza on the menu: the main emphasis is on exquisite pasta and traditional main courses, with the fish dishes being particularly good. The wine list is excellent, although a bit pricey. In the summer, guests can sit outside on the sunny patio. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Grandiose aristocratic house |
Maria-Einsiedel-Straße 45 Thalkirchen Munich, Bayern 81379 Germany |
This was once the home and studio of Cosmas Damian Asam, an important painter of the late baroque period. The facade of the Asamschlößl is a rare example of the sort which was once so widespread in Munich. The painter acquired the estate in 1724, added a studio and started to decorate the facade with his work. At the time, the grounds also included buildings for the workers, a geometrically designed garden and a chapel built by his brother Egid Quirin. The house was rebuilt after the War by Schleich and the paintings on its facade restored. Quality regional cuisine has been served here at reasonable prices since 1993. The dining rooms are traditional and comfortable, comprising the Tirol Room, a lounge with a clay oven and a beautiful garden. Celebrities from the nearby film studios in Geiselgasteig are regular guests here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Traditional brewery with good food |
Zornedinger Straße 2 Aying Munich, Bayern 85653 Germany +49 8095 9065 |
The Inselkammer family has been producing a very drinkable and much-loved beer in the traditional Aying Brewery since 1878. The menu features typical Bavarian fare (including a type of bread soup) as well as a good variety of regional cuisine with an international flavor. There is a beer garden with seating for 200.

The oldest brewery in the world |
Weihenstephaner Str 1 Freising Munich, Bayern 85354 Germany +49 81 611 3004 |
The Benedictine monks have been brewing beer here since 1040, making this place the oldest brewery in the world. The brewery now belongs to the state, but still attracts customers with a selection of Bavarian specialties served in enormous portions (from 11:30a-10p). The beer garden offers a great view of the mountains north of Munich. An old law allows you to bring your own food, but there's really no need! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Show jumping and coffee |
Königinstraße 34 Schwabing Munich, Bayern 80802 Germany +49 89 333402 |
Situated next to the university riding school, this café has the particular advantage of offering a view of the riders practising their show-jumping techniques in the riding hall. Once popular with Munich's high society, the clientele now consists of business people, yuppies and law students coming and going in a continuous stream. Good food, wonderful terraces with a view of the English Gardens, separate rooms for larger parties and, of course, excellent service. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The name is deceptive |
Nymphenburger Straße 92 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80636 Germany |
Although called 'Café-Garden', this place is not really a café and doesn't boast much of a garden. In fact, it is just one of those typical establishments found in almost every urban district, which serve breakfast until the evening, coffee and snacks the whole day, good, hearty lunches and hard drinks in the evening. The lunchtime menu normally features salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes, which taste good and are not expensive (EUR 6.50 for pasta). Small dishes such as soups are offered the whole day and cocktails are served in the evening. Unfortunately, the 'garden' is situated right by the main road, meaning that it is not as idyllic as you might hope. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Multicultural cuisine |
Friedenheimer Straße 59 Laim Munich, Bayern 80686 Germany +49 89 5477 9900 |
Much thought has gone into the design of this restaurant (modern and simple, yet excellent) to ensure it runs with the minimum of fuss. The same high quality is to be found in the food, the style of which is difficult to summarize in one word, as it takes in the best aspects from many different world cuisines. The set menus are highly recommended, each one providing a real culinary tour of the globe. Service is top class, being friendly and competent; meals can also be eaten outside in summertime.

Sweet and savoury |
Andreestraße 10 Munich, Bayern 80634 Germany +49 (0)89 167 9104 |
What a menu! This place sells crêpes filled with delicious things which take you back to childhood days; sweet, brightly-coloured and seductive. You can have them flambéd or cold with ice-cream. Sheer heaven for those with a sweet tooth! As well as sweet crêpes, you will also come across the less-familiar savoury galettes. These are stuffed with ratatouille, for example, or with a meat filling. The menu also offers a crêpe-free section, including various large or small salads, as well as a set menu with dishes like 'magret de canard aux poivres vert' (duck's breast with green peppers).

French restaurant, Bavarian beer garden |
Zentralländstraße 30 Thalkirchen Munich, Bayern 81379 Germany +49 89 7429 9715 |
Idyllically situated near the banks of the River Isar, yet not far from the city centre, this restaurant - housed in a 19th century neo-Renaissance villa - is soberly decorated in black and white, but offers delicious French cuisine at fairly reasonable prices (the fish dishes are particularly good!). The main attraction is the beer garden, which is tucked well away from the traffic and also offers hearty Bavarian fare. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good food, great views |
Oberzeismering Tutzing Munich, Bayern 82327 Germany +49 81 58 8242 http://www.ilkahoehe.de |
Specialising in exquisitely prepared Bavarian fish and game dishes, the food is excellent although slightly pricey. It is, however, well worth the splurge and there are beautiful views from the beer garden of Lake Starnberger and the Alps (weather permitting). But it is not the end of the world if you have to sit indoors as the interior decor is extremely cosy. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Beer garden with jazz |
Georg-Kalb-Straße 3 Großhesselohe Munich, Bayern 82049 Germany +49 89 7499 4030 http://www.waldwirtschaft.de/ |
Charmingly located in Isartal, this popular Bavarian establishment serves up high-quality traditional cuisine at mid-range prices. Waldwirtschaft is known for its large beer garden (2,500 seats and a children's playground with swings), which offers local grilled specialities and live jazz and dixie bands. Some time ago, complaints from residents about the music led to the introduction of an early closing time, but local landlords organised a 'beer garden revolt' which resulted in the closing time being extended to 11p.

Out of town cabaret |
Sudetendeutsche Straße 40 Am Hart Munich, Bayern 80937 Germany +49 (0)89 3186 7771 http://www.hinterhoftheater.de/ |
This small cabaret theatre in the Wirtshaus am Hart inn is situated in the northern suburbs. A dependance of the highly respected Schlachthof, the reputation of the former has stood it in good stead. As a result, world famous cabaret stars and local personalities like Eisi Gulp and Faltsch Wagoni are prepared to make the trek out to this quiet residential suburb. The beer garden is a great place to relax in summer and every Friday the tempo picks up for 'reggae night'. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Stand up for your pasta! |
Adalbertstraße 28 Schwabing Munich, Bayern 80799 Germany |
It is hard to say why, but the ambiance at the Grappolo is somehow very Italian. Probably the best Italian eatery in the university district, it has small tables, where you eat standing, and the food is delicious. The pasta dishes are so good that it is worth going just for them, but the antipasti and the meat and fish dishes are equally tempting. If you can find a space outside in the summer, you will notice that there are just as many students here as business people. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Somewhat out of place |
Nymphenburger Straße 162 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80634 Germany +49 89 168 9241 |
This restaurant, situated on busy Rotkreuzplatz, looks slightly out of place: it is a low building surrounded by giant multi-storey edifices, and its beer garden borders a major road junction. Yet the minute the sun appears, this place gets jam-packed. And it's slightly hard to understand why. The food isn't great (although it is cheap); and the clientele aren't the youngest bunch either - although they do seem to like the Augustiner beer! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Geared towards cyclists |
Linienstraße 93 Deisenhofen Munich, Bayern 82041 Germany +49 89 613 9010 |
A traditional Bavarian pub with first-class local specialities, a beautiful beer garden with seating for 2,500, a small sun-terrace and a service station (including a pump) for cyclists. The latter tradition goes back to the days of Franz Xaver Kugler, the landlord in 1922, who topped up his glasses of beer with lemonade during the post-war beer shortage. His innovation was named 'Radler' (cyclist) after his regular customers, and the drink (half beer and half lemonade) has now become famous throughout Germany. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Lively local taverna |
Wilderich-Lang-Straße 10 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80634 Germany +49 89 16 2633 http://www.taverne-kyklos.de |
This Greek taverna is typical for the district of Neuhausen. Hellenic favorites like grilled meat and ouzo are all served in a pleasant and comfortable setting. Portions are more than ample, especially bearing in mind the low prices. Friday evenings feature live Greek folk music which fits in well with the lively but relaxing atmosphere. Meals can be eaten outside in summer - great for families, as there is a children's play area next door. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Take away or eat in? |
Maillingerstraße 9 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80636 Germany +49 89 18 4979 http://www.l-antipasto.de/ |
The small delicatessen offers antipasti from the counter (various fresh cheeses, Parma ham etc.) and about 1,000 different wines from regions between South Tyrol and Sicily. Delicious hot food entices more people in for lunch, making you dream of your next holiday to Italia. The menu is small, but it changes every day. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Stylish Asian with charming beer garden |
Maria-Einsiedel-Straße 2 Thalkirchen Munich, Bayern 81379 Germany +49 89 723 2031 http://www.mangostin.de/ |
An outstanding combination of a select restaurant with fine Asian cuisine and a traditional beer garden. Set in a calm and charming location near the Isar, Mangostin Asia is adorned with a variety of far eastern sculptures and plants, yet while it is undoubtedly beautiful, it can often get very full. Decorated in colonial style, the restaurant offers sushi (expensive) as well as a selection of well-known and exotic Thai and Japanese dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Live classical music |
Goethestraße 51 Ludwigsvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80336 Germany +49 89 5440 4348 http://www.hotelmariandl.de |
This traditional café dating back to 1899 boasts high ceilings decorated with ornate stucco, parquet floors and gorgeous wooden panelling. It is a real, old-style coffee house and features classical music played on the piano or by small ensembles during the evening. The programme sometimes extends to jazz. The choice of drinks reflects the Viennese influence and the food, particularly the set menu, is tasty and varied. The clientele largely consists of students (predominantly medical students) and other trendy young people. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Barbecues and beer |
Menterschwaigstraße 4 Grünwald Munich, Bayern 81545 Germany +49 89 64 0732 |
Both the bright and spacious interior and the location in the heart of idyllic Grünwald make for an extremely pleasant visit. The chef concentrates his efforts on local and regional specialties, but the food is still fairly costly. The huge beer garden (with seating for 2,200) is a firm favorite with locals and one of the best in Munich. Traditional Bavarian fare and grilled fish dishes are sold from the barbecue. There is a play area for kids and the famous Bavaria film studios are close by. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Newspapers and marketing students |
Amalienstraße 55 Maxvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80333 Germany +49 89 28 1787 |
Another of the numerous cafés in Munich's university district, News Bar is bright and comfortable, and offers the usual choice of meals, coffee and cakes. One slightly unusual feature is the enormous selection of newspapers and magazines. It's a pity that you have to buy them, but at least this place is quiet enough to read in peace. The staff are very new-Munich and slightly arrogant, just right for the high-powered student clientele who can take the opportunity to practice the assertiveness they will need later in life.

Austrian cuisine in a flower garden |
Nymphenburger Straße 24 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80335 Germany +49 89 123 3830 |
The cuisine is cosmopolitan, yet still displays a definite Alpine emphasis both the wine and the food reflect clear Austrian tendencies. This is a pleasant, rather small restaurant, slightly conservative, yet exceptionally beautiful in the summer when guests can sit outside in the charming flower garden. A pianist performs several times a week. Prices are not cheap, but respectable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Local brewery |
Sendlinger Straße 14 Innenstadt Munich, Bayern 80331 Germany +49 89 260 5026 http://www.hackerhaus.de |
First used as a brewery in the year 1417, this place really took off in the 18th century when it was taken over by Hacker and Pschorr. Like many other beers, Hacker-Pschorr is now produced out of town, but is still sold in the original city-centre building, which has now been renovated after damage in the Second World War. The beer is accompanied by tasty Bavarian specialities such as roast pork. Old photographs and other bits and bobs document the history of the brewery; the Silbersaal hall and the sculpture by Johann Hauttmann (of Schloß Linderhof fame) in the foyer are well worth seeing.

Down Under |
Weißenburger Platz 3 Haidhausen Munich, Bayern 81667 Germany +49 89 211 1140 |
What the name promises (or threatens), the Outland provides. The restaurant is fitted in the style of an outback bar, the decor is rustic and simple, and the walls are painted with symbols from the dreamland of all German drop-outs. The clientele is mixed and relaxed - how could it be otherwise in such a place? In the summer time, you can sit outside to eat. But the most remarkable thing is the menu; if you are curious and not afraid to experiment, you can choose the likes of shark steak or fillet of kangaroo. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Turkish food in a classy ambience |
Volkartstraße 24 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80634 Germany +49 89 13 1850 |
The ambience of this Turkish restaurant is as far away as you can get from a doner kebab snack bar. It is simple and classy with salmon pink walls and dark wooden furniture. The food, on the other hand, is substantial and the portions are ample. Prices are almost embarrassingly low. This is certainly a reason for the popularity of the restaurant, where the atmosphere is pleasant and friendly and sometimes so exuberant that you can't hold a conversation. In the summer, there is seating outside. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classic Italian cuisine |
Nymphenburger Straße 150 Munich, Bayern 80634 Germany +49 (0)89 16 8548 |
Located close to Rotkreuzplatz, Pitti is one of the district's best Italian restaurants. During the day, it pampers business people with two different lunch menus every day, at(EUR 4.95 and 7.90) apiece, while it caters mostly to guests from Neuhausen in the evening. Despite the small tables by the window, this is a discrete and first class restaurant with low lights and that traditional Italian ambience. The food is excellent and satisfying (very different from many run-of-the-mill pizzerias), catering for a variety of tastes. Some examples of its fare include Spaghetti alla Marinara and Piccata Cambarola. It is advisable to make a reservation for an evening meal. Review © 2007, Wcities |

An attractive view |
Kirchplatz 1 Pullach Munich, Bayern 82041 Germany +49 89 793 0285 |
Although the name of this pub, Rabenwirt, means 'raven landlord', the landlord certainly does not behave like a raven to his guests: healthy portions of traditional Bavarian cooking are served at reasonable prices. Try the likes of beer goulash at EUR 9, suckling pig at EUR 12.50 or the house speciality spit roast duck at EUR 14. The seafood is also recommended, and the lunch menu is good value at EUR 7.50. An outstanding attraction is the sun terrace, located near the guest rooms, which has a wonderful view over the Isartal. Piano music is played on Thursdays and hot meals are served until 11.30p.

Fresh from the wood-burning oven |
Alfonsstraße 7 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80636 Germany +49 89 18 3198 |
Not many people known that, 'pizza from the wood-burning oven' is a speciality of the island of Ischia. Ischia Pulcinella is the perfect place to try it, and it tastes excellent, as do many of the other dishes (some of which are not regional specialities); such as Chinese mushrooms on rucola salad for , tagliatelli with salmon for and swordfish alla Siciliana. Although this Italian restaurant is slightly difficult to find (hidden away behind a hedge), it is always packed. Guests can sit outside in the summer. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Exquisite ice-cream |
Nymphenburger Straße 155 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80634 Germany +49 89 15 5314 http://www.sarcletti.de |
Crowds flocking to Sarclettis, one of the oldest and most popular ice-cream parlours in town, have been known to cause traffic chaos. No wonder! With 60 exquisite varieties like caramel, mint chocolate and sacher cake (as well as special versions for diabetics), this place is well worth a visit at any time of year. Customers can enjoy a tub of ice-cream or a sundae. The polystyrene cool boxes provided for take-aways can keep the ice-cream frozen for several hours. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A beer and a view |
Kleinhesselohe 2 Schwabing Munich, Bayern 80802 Germany +49 89 381 6130 |
Situated on the banks of Kleinhesseloher lake in the middle of the English Garden, this restaurant with adjoining beer garden is a favourite with self-assured locals, students and tourists all year round. Guests can relax with a Mass (litre) of beer for EUR5 and watch the sun slowly disappear behind the lake. If you get peckish, you can order from the restaurant menu, although this does tend to be quite pricey. Students will be pleased to know that you can bring your own food to the beer garden. Football fans may even get lucky and see the stars of Bayern Munich football club celebrating their latest victory here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tulbeckstraße 9 Munich, Bayern 80339 Germany +49 (0)89 50 5400 |
Speisecafé West is known for its great breakfast and sunny terrace. The main courses and set menus are also exceptional: a wonderful combination of international and regional cuisine, varied, imaginative, progressive and skilfully prepared. The decor and atmosphere are cosy; the clientele is made up of locals and students who sit at the bar or at the table on fine leather-covered benches. The mood is casual and intimate.

Rolled up and ready to go |
Volkartstraße 22 Neuhausen Munich, Bayern 80634 Germany http://www.sushi-zen.com |
Light, minimalist Japanese style, pale wood and dark blue decor ornamented with a little black lettering, Sushi Zen has no superfluous accessories and no strident color tones. The atmosphere is very Zen. When the little restaurant on Volkartstraße is full, though, it has to be said that the noise levels rise, because the tiny tables are somewhat tightly packed together. The menu includes nigri sushi ( EUR 2-5), maki sushi (EUR 3.50-8), inside outside rolls ( EUR 7-10.50), hand rolls (EUR 7) and mixed sushi ( EUR 15). If you think that sushi are just simple little rolls, you about to be re educated! There are, of course, hot dishes (about EUR 8) and soups (EUR 4.50). There is a 10% discount on takeaways.

Turkish food and good company |
Zenettistraße 37 Isarvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80337 Germany +49 89 77 8963 |
Reasonable prices and tasty food have made the Palet into one of Munich's most popular Turkish restaurants. It is always full, and that cannot be due to the decor, because the furnishings are simple to the extreme. In the summer, you can eat outside in the garden. The 'all you can eat' evenings on Sundays and Mondays deserve a special mention, when you can dig into the buffet at will. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Top Tex-Mex |
Leopoldstraße 13 Schwabing Munich, Bayern 80802 Germany +49 89 330 40724 |
For some years, Tijuana has reveled in the reputation of being one of the best Mexican places in town. The cocktails, the snacks and the food are all great. Its fine reputation has a price, because you have to reserve in advance or at least grab your table early. Otherwise you will have no chance against the hoards of yuppies and law students. Even if you manage to find space, you cannot rely on being able to relax. The service is often not up to coping with the numbers and long waits are far from unusual. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Maxburgstraße 4 Munich, Bayern 80333 Germany +49 89 2916 3938 |
This quality city-centre establishment has a relaxed and flirtatious atmosphere as well as a beautiful terrace with fountain. The menu is excellent and reasonably priced - pasta, pizza and main courses cost EUR7-15. The lunch menu will set you back just EUR8 and the evening fare is extremely creative. Friday and Saturday nights are legendary and feature some of the best drum & bass DJs in town (from 8p). Breakfasts are scrumptious (EUR3-29) and are served until 5p over the weekend.
